We are a team of eight fearless footballers representing Google UK FC, who have decided to sacrifice their bodies and weekends in order to support the amazing work of Tackle Africa who provide sexual health education to children across Africa through football trainings.

The team will be braving 12 hours of gruelling six a side football for charity. 

During the course of each Football Marathon, the average player can expect to run over 40km – about the same as the London Marathon.

Squads of maximum eight play 6-a-side for 12 hours in a fundraising super-tournament with group stages, knockouts and playoffs.
